\ .Application 'tiled May 18, 1922.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, DAVID THnonoRn ROTHSCHILD, a. citizen of the United States, and a resident of Portland, -county of Mult- 5 uomah, and State of Oregon, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cartons,lof which the following is a` specification. l

Many granular articles, such for example as coffee, tea, ric-e and so forth, are kept on hand in households in' bulk, and part thereof is used from time to time.

lt is desirable to store these articles in dust proof containers, which also are sut'- tlciently air tight to prevent the deterioration, by loss of aroma and taste, of au article like coffee.

- Paper bags' are not suitable because too limp-id, and too easily broken; they also 2') do not constitute a. sufficiently air tight enclosure.

Metal containers are expensive. The object of my invention is to provide a` box like, inexpensive. carton which may serve as 2.3 an original package, and be used indefinite ly thereafter for storing the article which is sold therein; the carton being` provided with an opening thru which Ypart of its contents may be poured out as needed, and with a.

sliding gate for closing this opening.

l attain my object by providing a. carton which embodies the following features: rlhe carton is made of a single sheet of cardboard or the like and comprises a plurality olf adjacent sections foldable on parallel lines thereby to form the sides of the carton; one of the outer sections is folded inward against the inner face of the adjacent section so as to overlie the latter and form 4o therewith av slideway, said overlying sections being provided with an aperture; and a slide inserted in. said slideway for closing said aperture.

Other features of my carton are shown in the accompanying` drawings, in which:

Fig. l shows a blank of my container as punched out of a single sheet of cardboard or the like, the stippled areas indicating portions of the carton which are pasted togethcr when the carton is set up;

Fig. 2 is a partial perspective of the blank of my container illustrating the folding of the sections thereof and particularly illustrating the folding of one end section upon its adjacent section to form therewith Serial No. 562,007.

. the siideway has been formed as mentioned;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view on a smaller scale of my container in its final form, with the slide of said slideway removed from the latter;

Fig. G is a sectional side elevation of my container as, shown in Fig. 5, that is to say the front wall constituting said slideway being broken away to show' the slide in position;

Fig. 7 7 of Fig. 6; and

Fig. S is a sectional viewtaken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 7.

The container is made of a single sheet of cardboard or the like, which is folded so as to form a receptacle with an aperture and also a slideway in which an independent gate or slide can function so as to close the aperture.

The separate sections of the container and the manner in which they are folded are as follows: rllhe container is made with two sections (L and Z) being an end section. rlhese two sections are folded against each other so that the holes 0 and c coincide as shown in Fig. 2. The section a has a semicircular indenture a" and on the opposite end a bottom section a2. Section o has a top section o and a bottom section Z22 and a pasted lip attached to the end as d. These sections are folded on the dividing line A, B, and the lip Z is pasted on the section e and the sections a2, and b2 are left eX- tended. 'lhe section e is adjacent the section a and has a notched top section e and a straight bottom section c2. Adjacent the section c .is the section f with top section 7" and the bottom section Adjacent the section f is an end section g with a top section g and a bottom section g2. The section g is made with perforations which are positioned so as to match up with the wings on the section e. Lip 7i is attached to one end of the section g. The carton is then folded to a right angle on the line A, E. A similar fold is made on the lines E, F and a similar fold is made on the line F, G, and the carton then assumes the form shown in Fig. a and the lip It is folded on the line G, H and pasted to the folded edge of section is a sectional view taken on the line b. The sections g2, f2, e2, a2 and b2 can then be foldedA at right anglesV on their folding` lines and the bottoni is thus formed and pasted together. The sections f and b are lirst folded on the top and the section g is then folded over and the section e is folded in place and the notches on the section are inserted in the perfo 'ations in the section g. A gate Section Wit-ha semi-Circular projeetion z" can then be slipped in the space between the folded sections ci and Z) and as this is made Withouta perforation the holes 0 and C" will be closed. The projection z" pro vides an ear by which the gate can be inanipulated.

I claim :v

l. A carton made of `a single sheet of cardboard, comprising a plurality of adjacent sections foldable 0n parallel lines Vto forni the sides of the carton, one of the cent sections foldable on parallel linee tol forni the Sides of the carton, one of the outer sectionsk being folded inward against Vthe inner face of the adjacent section so as to over-lie theV latter and forni therewith a. slideway, the last mentioned Sections being provided with coinciding apertures, an iinperforate slide for closingrsaid apertures, the end sections being provided with lips pasted to the inner faces of the adjacent Section.
